I can't wait for this arc to not play out to completion before the next hiatus.

It's either going to be the happiest moment in the series or the worst. There is no middle ground. And I'm pretty sure it's going to be bad because Guts has been too happy lately.

Yeah, I bet another haitus hits after 4 or 5 chapters. We're on the verge of Casca becoming her old self, but as this is Berserk I'm half expecting her to reject Guts or be too traumatised for anything.

I can only hope we get to see Guts slowly and methodically kill Griffith some day.

Nen is right up there with Stands for most well thought out and interesting abilities. The most recent arcs have had some of the best nen battles in years.

I say this every week, but Dr. Stone is such a great read. Perfect balance of humour and drama - it's already hitting the top rankings of Jump and when it gets an anime announced it is going to be huge.

I've been struggling to read new things for over a year now but decided to give Kingdom another go tonight. Quite enjoying it so far, just got another 500 chapters to go.

It's great for a number of volumes but sadly lost the plot after a while. The translation & scan quality also dropped off massively so I've put it on hold for the time being until the official English release catches up or a new team takes over.

It's the official translation I've been reading so scan quality should be good at least.

Just checked my usual site and it seems the scans have all been updated with a decent translation. Last time I read it, it was like someone had just added the text to google translate so you can imagine how bad it was.

The thing that kind of irks me is there was clearly some sort of translation error with his nen abilities, because...

He can use every ability equally well when his eyes turn red, yet he's referred to as a "specialist". That's not what that word means

I don't think any team or even the official release has ever been clear with regards to some Nen abilities which gets worse as Kurapika turns the complexity to 11.

The Specialist class is very vague from what we've seen so far.Kurapika is a natural Conjurer, with his switch to a Specialist occurring when his eyes turn scarlet granting him maximum stats (that he's capable of) in each Nen type. His different chain abilities and self-imposed limitation on top of this further adds to the headache so I now just accept everything he does without questioning how.

Chrollo is another pain in the arse due to the nature of his specialisation.
